You may know I’m not a fan of Lodi Zinfandel in general — but here’s a sassy cinnamon bomb of a wine that doesn’t resort to over-oaking but relies on fresh red berry fruit, and full throttle cinnamon spice — if Red-Hots were juicy and dry, they’d taste like this. This will find a lot of fans in bold Zin land.
